I have watched this on Netflix, and I devoured it in two days. I was a big fan of the book, and at the beginning the casting caught me by surprise for a few characters which I imagined differently (Philip in primis), the acting was really good, especially by Ian McShane's Waleran and Natalia Wörner-Ellen.
The adaptation does take some liberties vs. the canon, but the narrative flows very well and shows the multiple story arches, which are one more interesting than the other. Great costumes and settings, good use of the accents... there is so much going on for this series that I could go on for much longer.
A must-see for the readers and the non-readers alike. Ken Follett has a small cameo towards the end... a' la Harry Potter.
